Seeing as how it's Valentine's Day, and I know some of you are anticipating the next chapter, I just wrote something quick until I can come up with something else. Enjoy!

Day 5: 1:30PM

Shadow's POV

I was practically being dragged by Rarity through the Town Center, and it wasn't fun. Considering the fact that I was attacked three times by Lyra and BonBon, I was hoping for somepony to just kill me. There's no way for me to escape, since Rarity was pulling me with her magic, and I know her magic is probably more stronger than mine, thus I won't be going anywhere anytime soon.

I just continued to be dragged, I was in pain, covered in dirt and mud, and I was tired as hell. I saw no point in trying to escape, since Rarity will indeed track me down, or even worse, Rainbow Dash. I wonder what she's been up to. I haven't seen her since that incident, so it's only natural for me to question what she's been doing. My thoughts were cut short as we both stopped in front of the Boutique for some reason.

"Isn't it just beautiful?" Rarity said. I was confused.

"I don't know... what you... mean." I said, too tired to speak.

"I meant the weather, dear. It is a sight, isn't it?"

I didn't respond. Rarity looked back and asked, "Shadow? Are you alright?"

"O-oh yeah! I'm fine, Rarity! Nooo worries back here." I said quickly, not wanting her to worry and have this situation over with. Rarity gave me a skeptical look before she tries to kiss me.

As much as I didn't want to say it, she tried to kiss me. I backed up a bit, trying to avoid her.

"Come on, darling. Don't you want a kiss?" Rarity asked, with her lip quivering and with a sad look.

"N-not now. Why not w... wait until we're i-inside?" I was on the verge of passing out any moment now, and either Rarity was ignoring it or she just now noticed how I look.

"Oh no! We're not doing anything until I get you cleaned up!" Rarity said, after opening the door, jerking my leg (causing it to pop and me to be in more pain), and dragging me to the bathroom. Only one thought was repeating in my mind.

'For the love of Celestia, someone please help me!'

Spike's POV

I sat there, staring at the open door and out to the open world where Shadow was dragged by Rarity.

This is all my fault.

Guilt and regret filled my mind.

Obviously, Shadow knows what to avoid, and now he's with Rarity, doing god knows what. I didn't know what to do. No plans or solutions came to mind, no positive outcomes can come out of this situation. Nothing.

I heard Blazing come down the stairs soon after.

"Hey, what happened? I heard someone else coming in. Who was it?" Blazing asked, rubbing his eyes and yawning.

I didn't say anything. I slowly walked into the living room.

"Spike? Is something wrong?" Blazing asked.

I sat on the couch and let the sadness control me. There was nothing I could do. Blazing sat next to me, just as tears was forming in my eyes.

"Oh jeez. Did I do something wrong when I was awake?" Blazing asked, oblivious to what had happened.

"N-no Blazing, 'Sniff'' it d-d-doesn't have anything t-to d-do with you." I merely said, through tears and pain at the situation. Blazing slowly wrapped his leg around my shoulder and hold me close. As he was trying to comfort Spike, one thought was roaming his mind.

'What did happened?'

Rainbow's House, 3rd POV

Rainbow's house was very quiet and unsettling. The slight sound of the wind and the ticking of the clock on the wall was the only sounds heard.

Ever since her interaction with Shadow, she mostly just sat inside her home, bathing in depression. So, not only did she pissed off Rarity, she also told Shadow she never wants to see him again. What great "accomplishments" she achieved!

Rainbow was in the living room on her couch doing nothing in particular. Unless you count having a staring contest with the wall, to which she lost every game. She didn't know what to do. There were puddles of tears on the couch and floor, tissue boxes scattered all over the room, and magazines Rarity gave her, despite the fact she never read were thrown off the table. Some were even 'playmare' magazines she stole.

She was clearly lost in her own world. Nothing but guilt, regret and sadness filled her emotions. She doesn't know what to do about this situation. Rarity clearly doesn't want to see her, and Shadow... she doesn't know about him. Maybe she could go and talk, even though she said herself to leave her alone and to never see her again.

"I have to solve this." Rainbow said to herself. After another minute of thinking, she got up, unfolded her wings and took off through the windows, hoping she didn't miss him.

Shadow's POV

This isn't what I had in mind when I meant a "private talk" with Rarity.

Apparently, privacy is non-existent in her eyes. As she was scrubbing me, using too much damn soap and shampoo, to which it involved getting it constantly in my eyes, and still being in pain from the ambush, Rarity was trying to have a conversation with me.

"So, what is your favorite hobby?" She asked.

"Mmmph mmph mmph?" Oh yeah, did I mention that she put a ball gag inside my mouth? Why? I don't have a damn clue. Maybe besides the fact that... she would want... or maybe... Yeah, I can't come up with a good reason.

"That's sounds facinating darling! I wish I had your knowledge and freedom, but I'm always just so busy with the orders I'm receiving." As if I didn't ask a question, Rarity agreed with... whatever it was she was agreeing with.

"You know, you are really interesting to talk to. Maybe we could do this again another time?" Rarity, once again ignorant to the fact that I can't speak, continues to wash me. After another minute, she said the sentence I dread to hear.

"Alright, now I'm going to need to clean your privates. So, can you remove your hooves from covering?" Rarity said, lowering her eyes and looking at me seductively.

Oh fuck she's giving me that look, and I don't like it one bit. Every last bit of hope I had of me being okay has all diminished. I shook my head while saying "no" constantly, in a desperate attempt to not be anywhere near that area.

Rarity, trying to get me to stay still, used magic to hold me down, despite my displeasure. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't move even an inch.

"Come on dear. I'm only trying to help you get cleaned up. And then, we'll have our little talk I mentioned. How does that sound?" Rarity said, not looking at me but instead, the one area I didn't want her to look. Even when I responded to her, she didn't look away. After another minute of silence, I responded again.

"Uhm, Are you going to... you know..." I trailed off, mostly due to the awkwardness.

Rarity returned back to reality and said, "Oh, sorry dear. Got carried away right there."

'Just think of something else, just think of something else, just think of something else, just think of-ohhhhh'. The second Rarity touched me, I was lost in pleasure.

Rarity was taking notice of my enjoyable moment, and stopped. I was confused, until I saw her insert my cock into her mouth.

I didn't want her to stop, but at the same time, I didn't want to orgasm with her. The last of ponies I want to do anything sexual with. I didn't know what to do, so I decided to enjoy it for the time being until something or somepony saves me.

Rainbow's POV

Alright, he has to be somewhere. Maybe I need to be on the ground in order to find him.

I landed across the river from the City Hall. The area I landed was almost like the rest of Ponyville, but not as badly damaged. Maybe I should start my search here. However, before I could even start, I heard somepony moaning loudly to which it look like it's coming from... Carousal Boutique. The last place I wants to look. I wanted to ignore it but-

Wait, that smell. No, it can't be him with... Rarity.

As much as I didn't want to intervene, I want to talk to him. Without any thought, I busted through the door and up the stairs.

Carousal Boutique, 2nd Floor, 3rd POV

Both Shadow and Rarity were now having a "fun" time in the bathtub. What was turning into cleaning him was now having sex within a matter of minutes. Of course, Shadow didn't want to, but his urges were getting the best of him. In fact, they were so into themselves that they didn't notice somepony busting down the door and approaching the 2nd story.

Rainbow opened the door, and was shocked at what she saw. The two so-called 'lovers' stopped what they were doing and looked at Rainbow.

"RAINBOW! DON'T YOU HAVE ANY MANNERS!?" Rarity shouted while covering herself.

Rainbow didn't say anything. She only slowly walk forward towards the two. Her anger was only increasing as she glared at Shadow.

"So, this is what you had to go and do. Is this what you do? Go and mate with other mares?" Rainbow said, angrily.

"Listen Rainbow, I-"

Rainbow raised a hoof, before hitting him dead in the face. Rarity was shocked at her actions. Shadow was so close to seeing the void, he just wished it happens now. "I don't want to hear a single word from you. I clearly was going to give you another chance, but you decided to go and have another relationship without. My. PERMISSION!" Rainbow yelled at Shadow. It was only a few moments later that he passed out in the tub, clearly tired and in too much pain.

And done! Sorry for not uploading anything for the past, what 2 months? I don't know why I didn't update this story at all. I'm assuming it must of been me losing interest in this story. But be assured, the story is not going to end until I finish it.

Keep in mind I'm open to any ideas for how to continue the story, including any additional characters you want to see in the story. See you next time!
